Agreed, I know it’s his instinct to stick up for his son but what’s done is done. Adelaide have chosen to act like petulant idiots, let’s move on to the real business.

    I hate the saying first in last out. I hhad a staff member that always left 10 minds or so late and usually early... Did less work than most....

    Did you work with George Costanza?

    Crows really are acting like flogs about this.

    I'm guessing that your new film is an update of the Manchurian Candidate through an MFC lens with Matt Damon playing Jack Watts in the role of 'Queen of Diamonds'. Close?

    We tried to get Damon but could only get Jones. Still, more MFC elements the better as Joe is bankrolling us. ?

    So this Lever bloke. Let's hope we can get him to the club early in the week, in order to land one or two others.

    This is taken directly from the trade radio/afl trade news feed:

    The future is looking brighter for wantaway Adelaide defender Jake Lever, with Melbourne confirming productive talks with the Crows on Monday. 
     
    It's been reported all has not been rosy with Crows after the third-year backman declared he wanted out of his first AFL club to return home to Victoria. 
     
    But, Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said talks were "amicable" on Monday, with both parties working to get it done. 
     
    The Crows then confirmed via list manager Justin Reid there had been some "good dialogue" between the parties regarding the 21-year-old's wishes.

    They still want two first rounders, but will speak ‘only to us’ for now (how nice of them...).  These pricks have no idea.  I was hoping this would be done quick so we could get on with other things, but it looks like this one may drag over the two weeks.

    Which is stupid because the Cows could use 10 and 2nd rounder to trade for a nifty mid or maybe draft Gus' bro. Seems dumb to slow the boat to a halt when Lever is pizzed off and has said he will go into the draft

    Agreed. It was hard not to notice this bit ...

    "There are an incredible number of rumours and untruths being thrown around at this point in time, it’s the silly season, we know that happens, but for the fans it’s very difficult to decipher what is real and what’s not, so to clear that up, it was Jake’s decision.”

    She was on the money until the final few words ... non, let me introduce you to sequitur ...

    An update on the lever deal. The crows won’t budge on the two first round picks deal so the club will be having a meeting with Richmond to discuss an exchange involving their two late first round picks and our pick 10. 

    The crows have indicated that those two picks would satisfy the deal if the tigers are willing to trade them. 

    Despite earlier confusion the watts race is still on with Geelong and port slightly leading Sydney and interestingly his chances of staying with us slightly better than they were. Don’t rule that out. 

    We have told the cats pick 20 or no deal if he chooses them. 

    Freo want to look after balic so pick 64 is the best pick we’d have to give up to secure him. 

    Dean kent has been shopped around but has gained very little interest at this early stage.

    We might want to move this to the Trade Rumours thread?

    Hmmm, can you imagine how stupid the Crows would look if the Tigs agreed to swap their 2 x late 1st picks for pick 10, and we kept our second round pick?

     

    Why wouldnt they have their own meeting with the tigers, swap 10, and keep our pick 27 to themselves?

    Strange.

    I appreciate that Mahoney probably wants to be seen as reasonable person to deal with during trade period but the Crows have done themselves no favours in reflecting a value of two first round picks for Lever.

    So i had a look at pick 10's in the last 10 years of national drafts, this is who clubs got:

    Chris Egan
    Marcus Drum
    Nathan Brown
    Dangerfield
    Phil Davis
    Melksham
    Gorringe
    Sumner
    Cockatoo
    Nathan Freeman

    Makes me feel a bit more at ease knowing that only 2 of those players  (Danger and Davis) justified their drat position. So if we have to cough up more, so be it. Lever is a ready made gun for the next 9 years

    This is absolute rubbish.

    No way do the Tigers swap "their two late first round picks and our pick 10." They may have just won a premiership but they are not a charity.

    If they want our 2017 & 18 first round picks, fine. But we want their 2018 first round pick included in the Lever deal.

    Out: 2017 FIRST & SECOND PICK, 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

    In: LEVER & ADELAIDE 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
